Yesterday, McCarthy responded to Trump’s whining tweet that Cohen “only became a ‘Rat’ after the FBI “BROKE INTO AN ATTORNEY’S OFFICE” which Trump called “absolutely unthinkable & unheard of.”

McCarthy did not just call out the “mobster lingo” used by Trump, he pointed out that the FBI followed the law in searching Cohen's office and that the term “rat” refers to a witness providing “real incriminating info."

Sir, in mobster lingo, a ‘rat’ is a witness who tells prosecutors real incriminating info. Perhaps a different word? Searches of lawyer’s offices common enough that DOJ has a procedure for them. Here it yielded evidence of crimes you said he should be jailed for. You should stop. https://t.co/EV1txBYrhz
